Bridgewater Police Charge Man in Stabbing Incident

BRIDGEWATER — Chief Christopher Delmonte reports that the Bridgewater Police Department arrested a man who allegedly stabbed another man during an altercation at a South Street home late Friday night.

ADAM MARTINEZ, AGE 41, OF YORK, MAINE was charged with:

  • Armed Assault to Murder

At approximately 11:55 p.m., Bridgewater Police officers responded to 37 South St. after receiving a 911 call from a woman reporting that someone had been stabbed.

When officers arrived, they found two men that appeared to have been involved in a fight. One of the men had suffered multiple stab wounds.

Through the subsequent investigation it was determined that MARTINEZ stabbed a 40-year-old Bridgewater man seven times during the altercation.

The victim suffered stab wounds to his back, neck and arm. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

MARTINEZ had cuts on his hands, which appeared to be the result of using the knife.

Both men were taken by ambulance to local hospitals. The victim was still being treated at the hospital Saturday morning.

A folding knife with a four-inch blade was recovered at the scene and seized as evidence.

MARTINEZ was treated and released to the custody of the Bridgewater Police Department, where he was booked. He is being held on $15,000 bail at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility and is expected to be arraigned Monday at Brockton District Court.

The incident remains under investigation by Bridgewater Police detectives.

These are allegations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty.

Stoneham Police Investigating after Three Are Stabbed During Altercation

Police Do Not Believe there is Any Danger to Community

STONEHAM — Chief James McIntyre reports that the Stoneham Police Department is investigating after three people were injured during an altercation Wednesday evening.

Police and fire responded to the vicinity of 498 Main St. at 8:42 p.m. for a report of a fight.

Upon arrival, officers spoke with a 47-year-old male who stated that he had been stabbed by a juvenile male who was still on scene. The adult male was able to locate the knife for officers. A preliminary investigation indicates that two groups of juveniles arranged to meet at the pizza shop when a fight broke out. The juvenile armed with the knife stabbed two juveniles from the other group.

One of the victims was stabbed in the torso and taken to a Boston hospital with serious injuries. The other victim was stabbed in the leg and sustained injuries that are not considered life-threatening.

The 47–year-old male, who was a bystander and had come out of the restaurant, attempted to intervene and was also stabbed in the leg by the juvenile armed with the knife. The bystander was treated for injuries that are likewise not believed to be life-threatening.

The group of juveniles scattered during the melee but were located by Stoneham Police officers a short time later. They were detained for questioning.

The incident is under investigation by Stoneham Police Detectives. As the investigation is just beginning, no charges have been filed at this time, and none of the names of those involved may be released at this time.

The Stoneham Police Department believes that the juveniles were known to each other and that this incident was not a random act of violence. Chief McIntyre stresses that there is no immediate threat to the community.

Wakefield Police Respond to Fight at Breakheart Reservation

State Police Jurisdiction. Suspect in Custody

WAKEFIELD — Chief Rick Smith and Lt. Steven Skory, the shift commander, report that the Wakefield Police Department responded to the Breakheart Reservation on Tuesday afternoon for a report of a fight in progress.

Officers arrived at about 4:30 p.m. to find a male party who sustained an injury as a result of an altercation with another male who is known to the victim. The victim’s neck was impaled with the shaft of a golf club.

The victim sustained serious injuries and was taken by medical helicopter to a Boston hospital.

As this incident occurred on state property, the Massachusetts State Police has primary jurisdiction over this incident. State Police have a suspect in custody at this time, and Wakefield Police are assisting at the scene.

Wakefield Police officers located the suspect about a mile from the crime scene and transferred him to State Police custody.

“This appears to be an isolated incident between two parties known to each other. There is no danger to the public,” Lt. Skory said.

Media with further inquiries should contact the Massachusetts State Police.
